Skinny VS Curvy

Well, (sighs) I don’t know, I think it’s hard because when you’re a girl, and I was probably going through the worst of it at the time, you criticize yourself the most. So yeah. there are definitely days when you come home and you think, “I’m fat and I’m ugly and this and that.” But you just have to look at the bigger picture and instead think, “You know what? I’m healthy and I’m fortunate and I think that there are people a lot worse off than me. You kind of have to put things in perspective.

Here’s another Hottest Bodies List for your delight! This time, it comes from Huffington Post:

The Top Five Sexiest Celebrity Female Bodies

1. Halle Berry: This Academy Award-winning beauty known for her roles in Monsters Ball, X-Men, Swordfish and Catwoman follows a popular fitness and lifestyle program developed by fitness trainer Harley Pasternak called the “5 Factor Fitness Plan.” I think the results speak for themselves.

2. Jessica Biel: This 27-year-old actress has been criticized for her comments about being too beautiful to be cast for certain roles in film, but then again, maybe she’s on to something. Her youthful glow and lean, athletic physique is most likely attributed to her clean, diet, relentless work ethic, and training with personal trainer Jason Walsh. So maybe he’s the one to blame.

3. Kim Kardashian: This Socialite, model and entrepreneur has always been sexy, but the addition of the services of celeb trainer Gunnar Peterson, along with a built-in fitness support system provided by her Super Bowl bound NFL-star boyfriend and Olympian stepfather have made her a force to be reckoned with.

4. Cindy Crawford: I think “wow” sums her up best. This model, entrepreneur, spokesperson and mother of two, who is known for her trademark mole, is truly a timeless beauty. Now in her 40’s she’s only getting better with age and much of it has to do with her active lifestyle, which consists of pilates, strength training, yoga, dance classes, running and occasionally jumping on the trampoline with the kids.

5. Beyonce Knowles: Several takes of her dance routine in the “Single Ladies” video will have anyone drenched in sweat and gasping for air, not to mention her hardcore workouts with trainer Marco Borges.

Honorable Mention: Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, Jennifer Aniston, Eva Mendes and Gabrielle Union

The magazine also specifies the following:

Fantastic physiques like Halle Berry’s are not products of magic pills or trendy equipment promoted on late night infomercials, they are achieved with intense training, sound nutrition, sacrifice, discipline, determination and gallons of sweat. These great bodies are not only admired, envied and fantasized about by all, but they also have directly translated to success in the entertainment industry.

Yes, yes, these bodies are the product of “diet, sweat, discipline”… and, may I add, GENES. And hmm… I thought Quick Trim was one of those “magic pills”

Do you agree with this list or not?

After V Magazine’s Size Issue, here comes another “pro diversity” message (or so they say): Love Magazine put 8 naked supermodels on their covers and posted their measurements with the purpose of showing how different these “ideal bodies” really are.

“For this issue of LOVE, we took eight women who are generally acknowledged as the most beautiful in the world, got them to show off their bodies — widely regarded as the most perfect in the world — and photographed them all in exactly the same position for the cover,” LOVE’s editor-in-chief Katie Grand told VOGUE.COM. “We did this to show how much they differed physically from one another, which is why we also printed their measurements.”

“The point is that ‘perfection’ is not fixed, timeless or transcendent,” Grand – who put Beth Ditto on the cover of the first ever issue of LOVE – explained. “It varies, as the measurements of our cover girls show.”

Are you getting the “perfection isn’t fixed” concept of this shoot? I mean, they all look super good, but they’re basically all tall, thin, supermodels… and even though the magazine tries to convince us “how much they differ physically from one another” , these girls are still all part of 1 tiny group: the tall, thin, almost-identical-measurements supermodel group.

Well, nothing screams “Different!” more than a group of 8 models, 5 with 34” hips and 3 with 35” hips’.

“I don’t try to live up to the standards of Hollywood or any of that,” she says. “I know that I’m different and I celebrate it. In a weird way, I kind of really, really love being the alien in the room. I dig it.”

Curvy girl Christina Hendricks stepped on the red carpet at Directors Guild Awards and she showed off a lot of plump cleavage.

In related news, Christina’s husband, actor Geoffrey Arend (see him after the jump) defended his wife after NY Times criticized Christina’s dress choice at the Golden Globes and called her “a big girl”:

“I was just upset about the whole Golden Globes dress thing. I thought she looked so gorgeous. And that New York Times blogger saying that… It’s so ridiculous,”

“What was nice was seeing the entire internet come after that blogger. That was really cool. It was the first time I saw just a solid block of ‘You’re crazy! What’s wrong with you? You should be ashamed of yourself!’ [in the comments.] And honestly, the Grey Lady should be ashamed of themselves to print a picture like that, that they widened!”

… says Geoffrey
